Panan Krabi Resort

I spent a weekend at Panan Krabi Resort and enjoyed it. The pool area was great, I appreciated both the beauty and the fact that as far as I could tell, there always were enough sun beds for everyone. The room was a bit basic looks-wise, but I really liked the nest-like bed on the balcony. The staff was friendly and professional, but you could tell they process hundreds of tourists every day. The breakfast was quite good, although it desperately needs hand desinfecting stations. The nearest place to wash hands is far enough to not encourage people to utilize it. The location is great, away from the worst traffic noise but still near everything that is going on in Ao Nang.
Small edit: My room was connected with a door to the next room, and the door did not insulate any sound. I heard word-for-word everything that was being discussed in the other room. That could definitely be improved.

What a wonderful stay at Panan Krabi Resort! I booked the Deluxe Private Outdoor Whirlpool room and it was so worth it. The resort’s conveniently located near restaurants and shops, which was handy to have as everything was within walking distance. We also booked our boat tours through their tour desk reception, which we enjoyed a full day of island hopping hosted by Railay Eco Tours.
The breakfast buffet is fantastic as it offered a wide range of options.
Panan Krabi has two massive pools to choose from - the rooftop pool which is much quieter and offers a stunning view of the limestone cliffs as opposed to the main pool which could get quite busy and all sun beds would be occupied by 11am.
The resort also offers a 500THB per person seafood buffet I believe on Friday - weekend evenings, although we didn’t get to try it looked like a great option to dine at, also featuring a live band.
I also had the pleasure of booking an After Sun 60min massage with a 60min Foot Massage with their partner spa, which offered a complimentary transfer for me as it is located in their partner hotel (Hotel Adam).
The spa was beautiful and the therapists were amazing - just what I needed after a day of touring the islands!
Overall, a pleasant and enjoyable stay at Panan Krabi Resort.

Special shout out to Tua, Yu, and Bar (Fo) as they were so accommodating, kind, friendly and patient - thanks so much! I loved my stay and would highly recommend this resort to anyone staying in Krabi.

I just had a chance to write a review of our stay at this hotel. We stayed in May 2025, though our original booking was for May 2024 through a well-known OTA. Unfortunately, I had an acute heart attack and needed emergency open-heart surgery, so we couldn’t travel as planned. My husband tried contacting the OTA but we weren’t impressed with their service. Thankfully, the hotel showed great empathy and kindly allowed us to postpone our stay within a 1.5-year period.

When I recovered enough to travel, we finally made it there — and at check-in, we were upgraded to a premium room with a jacuzzi. The room was spacious, comfortable, with a lovely balcony, and the bathroom was big and well-designed.

The hotel itself has a large swimming pool with a pool bar, which was very enjoyable. The buffet breakfast was excellent with many choices to start the day. I especially loved the noodles — they were delicious — and the bakery items were also very tasty.

The location is excellent, surrounded by restaurants and shops, and just a short walk to the beach.

Overall, we had a truly relaxing time. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made our stay memorable. We will definitely be back here again.

Strategically Perfect: Family Luxury in a Prime Location

This hotel masters the balance between relaxation and activity. The rooms are immaculate, and the location—set back slightly from the main road—remains pleasantly quiet. With two pool options, including an exclusive rooftop and a family-friendly main area, every mood is catered for.

A particular standout: the Kids’ Club sets a high bar for childcare and program variety. For those looking to stay active, the gym provides everything necessary for an effective workout. The moment you step outside, the entire urban infrastructure (dining, massages, shopping) is at your doorstep. A logistical and atmospheric masterstroke.

Everything was first class. The staff were excellent, always smiling and courteous, we were spoken to by one member of staff on a regular basis, her name was Rawi, she was always immaculately dressed, very polite, very attentive. Her English was perfect. Like the rest of your staff, she is a credit to your hotel. I have stayed in hotels all around the world and this hotel is up there amongst the best. If I had to criticise anything, it would be that the gym is too small, but that is a minor issue. Thank you
